Question:
In this chapter, we evaluated shares of common equity in Starbucks using the value-to-book approach, market multiples, and reverse engineering. The Coca-Cola Company competes directly with Starbucks. The data in Chapter 12, Exhibits 12.14 through 12.16, include the actual amounts for 2015 and projected amounts for Year +1 to Year +6 for the income statements, balance sheets, and statements of cash flows for Coca-Cola. In Problem 14.21, you evaluated shares of common equity in Coca-Cola using the value-to-book approach, market multiples, and reverse engineering.
REQUIREDa. Prepare an exhibit using the data and analyses for Starbucks from this chapter and the data and analyses for Coca-Cola from the previous problem that will allow you to compare these two competitors on the following dimensions:1. Cost of equity capital (RE)2. ROCE for 20153. Projected ROCE for Year +14. Book value of common shareholders' equity5. Market value of common shareholders' equity
6. Intrinsic value of common shareholders' equity7. Value-to-book ratio8. Market-to-book ratio9. Value-earnings ratio (using Year +1 projected comprehensive income)10. Price-earnings ratio (using Year +1 projected comprehensive income)11. Value-earnings ratio (using 2015 reported earnings per share)?
12. Price-earnings ratio (using 2015 reported earnings per share)?
13. Reverse engineer share price to solve for implied expected rate of return (assuming 3% long-run growth)?
14. Reverse engineer share price to solve for implied long-run growth (assuming the cost of equity capital as the discount rate)b. What inferences can you draw from these comparisons about the valuation of Starbucks versus Coca-Cola? In the chapter, we concluded that Starbucks shares were under priced by roughly 16% in the market at the end of 2015. In the previous problem, you determined whether Coca-Cola was under- or overpriced. Are the comparisons here consistent with your previous conclusions regarding both Starbucks and Coca-Cola shares at the end of 2015? Explain.
Cost Of EquityThe cost of equity is the return a company requires to decide if an investment meets capital return requirements. Firms often use it as a capital budgeting threshold for the required rate of return. A firm's cost of equity represents the...
